Dubai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan isn’t just a movie star—he is a global emotion.

This November, fans in the UAE will have the exclusive opportunity to celebrate the King of Bollywood’s birthday in the most spectacular fashion, as a special Shah Rukh Khan Film Festival lights up cinema screens across the country.

These movies are not just my stories, they belong to the audience that have lovingly embraced them over the last 33 years. I hope everyone who comes to watch relives the joy, the music, the emotions, and the magic of cinema that we’ve shared together," said Khan in a press release.
